2022年6月8日 · The high tech newer sleep bags (rei, marmot, s2s, agnes, etc) are almost all VERY wimpy materials vs fire or tree branch or wetness, so the gore-tex or similar bivy (mil surplus or other) can add to the temp comfort 10-15+ degrees and give significantly more durability to a lightweight sleeping bag and/or waterproof one for winter.

2011年12月21日 · GREAT deal currently going. 30% off all sleeping bags, and free shipping. I figured this was a safer bet than dropping $400 on the Kifaru Slick bag in a similar size. UNROLLED I'm including 2 pictures below of the bag, unrolled. Length is 90" long, 34" wide (across, not circumference).

2014年9月29日 · Sleeping bags are more efficient than blankets due to the effects of wind/air movement. If the woollen blankets measure 5 inches thick [ that's probably 8 or more blankets] then you should be good for -40 when out of the wind. I simply cannot imagine having to carry that many blankets on my back Here's the link again

2016年7月12日 · sleeping bags are ultimately kinda like underwear. just because one style from a certain maker works great for your buddy doesn't mean it will work for you. In over 30 years of camping the only times I actually zipped my bags completely up was in the Army in -56 degree temps and I was using the full MSS + woobie, and smoking jacket with 2 ...

2020年2月25日 · Western Mountaineering makes very nice sleeping bags, but Feathered Friends usually has the edge in weight. Most FF bags are a little lighter (ounces) than a similar WM bag, both a great choice and will last 30 years. Both companies can sell you a 30 degree bag that weights around 24-25 ounces.

I don't care what wiggy's claims about their bags, if you care about your sleeping bag investment you won't live it compressed for extended periods of time. It should be laid flat or hung in an uncompressed way.

2016年9月27日 · Thinking about buying yet another sleeping bag. A Teton deer hunter -35. I have several good bags but none really made for deep winter camping. Wanted to try and save a buck by combining two summer bags into one winter bag. I know stuffing one bag inside another will compress the loft making...

2013年8月17日 · So I have been thinking about getting some real winter gear together. I decided I want a canvas sleeping bag after seeing red elms last winter. The 2 I am currently looking at are both -20 deg bags. 1 from Bass Pro Shops and the 2nd from Gander Mountain. Anyone have any experience with these...

2019年3月12日 · This thread sent me down the rabbit hole last night and I found some more details in a 1976 Natick report AD-A032 336 Batting Type Filling Materials for Sleeping Bags (as one does…) “Both sleeping bags as specified in Military Specification MI L-S-830, Sleeping Bags, M-1949 are made of cotton balloon cloth in overlapping channel ...

2015年12月19日 · I recently purchased a -20 f wiggys sleeping bag. It finally got cold enough to test it out. My set up was this. A piece of painters plastic, closed cell foam pad, then a big Agnes inflatable sleeping pad. Just outside on the ground. The bag was nested into a …
